I reversed those two Molniyas. So those two paragraphs
should read:

I saw two -- only two -- flashes from Molniya 1-88 (94-081A,
23420), magnitude maybe +6.5. They were separated by 15
seconds. This was pretty low in the SSW.
The following night I could not find the one that was either
Gorizont 30 or Spacenet 2. Either it was less favorable sky
conditions (less transparent plus brighter moonlight) or it
flashed much earlier or later than the previous night.
